What is the Medisur Menopause Self-Test?
The Medisur Menopause Autotest is an innovative and practical solution for the rapid and effective detection of menopause at home. The test uses state-of-the-art immunological technology to detect the presence of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in a urine sample, at concentrations equal to or greater than 25 mIU/mL. Thanks to this test, you can identify the signs of perimenopause or menopause and act accordingly to preserve your well-being.
During perimenopause, many women experience symptoms such as hot flushes, irregular menstrual cycles, sleep disturbances and mood swings. These symptoms, caused by a drop in estrogen levels, are often accompanied by an increase in FSH levels. The Menopause Self-Test offers a quick and easy way to check whether these symptoms are linked to a hormonal transition.
Why is it so important? Detecting menopause can help prevent potential complications such as osteoporosis, hypertension or increased risk of cardiovascular disease. By using this test, you choose to be proactive about your health.
With its ease of use, this test is designed to fit into your daily routine. Simply expose the absorbent tip to a stream of urine, or dip the tip into a urine sample for 10-15 seconds, then wait just 3 minutes to read the result. A clear visual indicator helps you interpret the results by comparing the coloration of the strips.
Finally, this self-test is particularly useful for confirming your personal clinical observations and discussing with your doctor the options available to support your long-term health.
Medisur Autotest de Ménopause will help you determine at which stage of the menstrual cycle you are, i.e. the premenopausal period.

The menopause is the result of the depletion of ovarian follicles, leading to hormonal imbalances. According to the WHO, it is characterized by the cessation of menstruation (amenorrhea) for more than 12 months.
Perimenopause (or premenopause) corresponds to the transition between the period of "normal" ovarian activity and the menopause. According to the WHO, it "begins when clinical and/or biological signs that herald the onset of menopause appear", and therefore ends at least one year after the last menstrual period. The average duration of the perimenopause is 4 years, with wide variations from one woman to another.
An irregular menstrual cycle is often the first sign of perimenopause. Other early signs of the menopause include hot flushes, asthenia, mood disorders, vaginal dryness, urinary dysfunction, weight gain and sleep disorders.
- Epidemiology: Natural menopause most often occurs around the age of 50. The median age at onset of perimenopause is 45.5. In France, 7% of women aged 40-44 and 83% of women aged 50-54 are menopausal.
- The menopause self-test can be used to determine elevated FSH levels in the urine, one of the signs of menopause.
- Purpose of the test: It is interesting to identifier this period of change afin order to adopt lifestyle habits or comfort treatments adapted to this transition. Pre-menopausal symptoms can mask the symptoms of other pathologies, so it's best to confirm this hormonal phenomenon.
- Who to recommend the test to: Patients with the above-mentioned symptoms.
Medisur Autotest de Ménopause is particularly suitable for women who wish to better understand the hormonal changes that occur over time. The test detects elevated levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), a key marker indicating declining estrogen levels and the onset of perimenopause or menopause. Thanks to this non-invasive method, you can better anticipate the effects of menopause on your body, such as sleep disorders, persistent fatigue or weight variations, so you can adopt the necessary measures to cope.
By integrating this self-test into an overall health monitoring approach, you benefit from a practical and reliable solution for monitoring your hormonal well-being at home. Unlike medical analyses which require laboratory appointments, this test can be carried out discreetly, at a time that suits you best.
